president obama has tended to be against lowering rates. he wants to raise rates on high income earners. but you've got an interesting situation now. senator, the chairman of the senate finance committee, the ranking democrat now since someone has announced he's not going to run for re-election in 2014. that gives him pretty much a free hand to try to fashion some kind of tax reform if he wants to do it in cooperation with the ranking republican on that committee. i think that it is within the realm of possibility that these two could do that. dave camp, the republican chairman of the house weighs and means committee has been working on the tax reform. we've seen on immigration, the president is leading from behind. he's the opposite of l.b.j. who insisted that congress pass his law without changing a comma. president obama doesn't have much in the way of recommendations. so it's possible, i think, not likely but possible that we could see serious moves towards tax reform. dagen: keep hope alive. good to see you. thank you so much. be well.
